• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have a question for members who have maintained a flying Skybolt. The newsletter suggest using .125 4130 to make washers for the drag wire blocks as opposed to using AN 970 washers. This will add a fair amount of weight. Does anyone have experience with the AN 970 washers cupping in this application? If you have is it more common on the thicker 7/32 wire?
